Eden Hazard: “After 6 wonderful years at Chelsea it might be time to discover something different. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision - if they want to let me go. You know my preferred destination.” (Source: @HLNinEngeland)

by that logic Messi is a beta based on this WC

You're replacing Ronaldo with a player who has never scored more than 20 goals in a season (if I am correct) while being his team's main player.Don't get me wrong, Hazard is great, but good luck finding a leader and a consistent goalscorer in a Hazard-Benzema-Bale forward line

It's your logic that is flawed, calling him "beta" whatever that means. But he has clearly shown he can lead and be a top performer while doing it.

No one can single-handily replace Ronaldo, it's not possible. But it's not impossible to build a different balance around different players. ill be surprised if we dont sign a number 9 but even if we assume that our attack is Hazard-Icardi-Bale, it's about as good as most teams attack. It's not even like BBC was elite for the past 3-4 years, yet we kept on piling CLs because we found different ways of winning.

If you believe that, it shows how little you know of masculinity.

Yeah Neymar is an aphla; due to the constant changes to his stupid hair, millions of instagram followers, constantly crying on the pitch, and running off to the French League the same league Hazard dominated as a teenager.

People said the same things about Luka Modric - critisizing his mentality and 4 CLs later we're discussing wether or not he should win Balon d'Or.

Yeah he probably is not on the same level as Neymar. Neymar is doing GOAT statistics for Brazil. Talent is there... Mentality is not. He is top class talent and Hazard won't match that.

Does that make Hazard not WC tho? Because Hazard is world class player to me and deserves to start in Real Madrid. Like nick has said multiple times, it worked for Bayern with 2 wingers and a good striker.

Hazard - Benzema/CF - Bale is still a good frontline. It is a downgrade from CR but anything at this point is.

Bale, Benzema don’t fit with new tactics. Lopetequi will play with 2 AMs stacking the midfield. So likely Isco on for Bale and Casemiro in his normal role or they leave the DM out, Modric and Kroos, with 2 AMs and 2 forwards.
